Today I Don't Know What To Blog About Or What To Write About - Help Me

Wow.. and so many people are in this very situation. Blogger or not, it's common to not know what to write about or what to blog about, "especially" if you're someone that writes all the time or for those of you that don't. The same can be said for anyone that wants to just simply start writing too.

Nevertheless, days where you struggle for your next blog topic are going to come upon you. It could be as immediate as when you start writing, it could happen weeks into it, months or even years after you've been doing this successfully.

I have to write a 4000 word essay and need some ideas on what to write on.

What are some ideas to write a short story on your own invention ?

I want to write a novel but I don't have an appealing story idea.

I want to create a blog because I like writing, but I don't know what to write about.

What are some suggestions for some topics to write about ?

I personally have my own ideas on how I would respond to each question I just mentioned, but the point of highlighting those questions is to say that this is a very common topic that comes up again and again. It doesn't matter whether you're online, offline or just about anywhere you're likely to find a piece of paper and a pen.. this seems to be something that no matter how connected you are to your audience or your topic.. that "don't know" moment will eventually introduce itself to you.

So what do we do about this plight of eventuality of not knowing what to blog or write about ?

The easiest thing to do is pay attention to what people are saying. I will reference Quora again in this section. In my arsenal of resources to reference when I need something to write about, this is very helpful because as a Q&A website, people have questions that they need answers to as you've heard me say before throughout this blog. When I spot significant interest on a topic, I know immediately that I've found my next conversational piece to write about. The sense of purpose that I feel in knowing I'm writing about something that is an area of concern for people is meaningful. Currently among the answers that I've given on Quora alone, as of now has received over 100k views since I've been a contributing member there. Among those answers I have helped people discover what they'd like to talk about on their own blogs too.

Respond ? One word ? What's that ? Well how often have you come across something that you read that you didn't agree with ? It's easy enough to send off a quick email to the blogger or person that wrote it or write a quick reply as a comment to the post, but the route I prefer to take is to blog about it. To respond in a post can be in the form of your own perspective or opinion on what you read, your positive feedback or not so pleasant criticisms of the topic, but either way, this is another strategy to use when you are struggling to find something to write about and needless to say.. there's "always" something to respond to. It doesn't matter whether it's the news in your niche, a contest, something controversial or something that's trending on Twitter.

So with that said, I get it.. there are days where your next idea to write or blog about won't come as easy as the last, but there are channels to draw from that can surely make it easier than trying to come up with it on your own.
